Bilbo, Gandalf e i 12 nani capitanati da Thorin Scudodiquercia procedono il loro viaggio verso Est, per raggiungere la Montagna sacra, tra ragni giganti, uomini orso e il fondamentale incontro con gli elfi silvani di Legolas. Ad un passo dalla meta però Gandalf è costretto a separarsi dalla compagnia per affrontare prove più importanti da solo, mentre i nani e Bilbo giungono a Pontelagolungo, alle pendici del monte in cui riposa il drago Smaug. Determinato a riprendere quel che è suo Thorin Scudodiquercia non attende Gandalf e decide di procedere da solo inviando come pattuito Bilbo a rubare l'Arkengemma dal drago dormiente.
